My PA is a unique Global Virtual PA service based on the WebEx application. As a supporter of Cisco Technologies and Methodologies we welcome the Postpath acquisition to leverage our interoperablity with out varied clients existing solutions. Can’t wait!!

Is PostPath available as a standalone product from Cisco?  It seemed from the PostPath website that it would not be available without some sort of “future” bundled option.

CustomerZ Oct 21, 2008

I had planned to try Postpath out in the near future. While I think it will be great when integrated with Cisco’s other offerings, I hope you can find a way to make it available again, standalone, in the short term.

Any chance of buying PostPath as a alternative to Exchange any longer?

CustomerV Jan 14, 2009

We evaluated Postpath in 2008 and intended to purchase it in 2009 to replace our mail server. We are still interested in Postpath as a standalone, but now we are evaluating MS-Exchange since Postpath is only being released as a “service”.

It’s going to get interesting as the battle brews between Cisco and Microsoft. Cisco just hit a sensitive ‘Exchange nerve’ at Microsoft. No love lost between these two is an understatement.

Kevin Feb 18, 2009

It’s a shame. PostPath looked like the real Exchange alternative. We like others here had it on the list of products to evaluate for purchase in 2009.  Of all the Exchange “knock offs” it looked like the most promising and best alternative.  Now however, it looks like it’s another product that will be sucked into come convoluted strategy that will make it more painful and expensive than the product I was trying to avoid. I can only say Cisco blew it by killing this product instead of offering it as a standalone.  It certainly still could have offered a hosted solution as well but this seems to be another case where Cisco does not care what the customer wants .. only what it’s own vision is. Good luck with that.

What is happening with the PostPath program?  Has it gone into hiding, no information since Aug 2008

Ferdinando Simonetti Feb 23, 2009

Where’s Postpath? A true Exchange alternative… now hidden behind Cisco’s web pages.
Is this a sort of ‘peace gift’ to Microsoft?

Where is postpath?

George Mar 8, 2009

Well well…oldest trick in the book. Cisco is going the route of Novell in battling with Microsoft for the Exchange market instead of simply offering it as a viable alternative for Linux server based networks. I can easily see the threat. Linux servers, PostPath and Apache as the core of a business network and Ubuntu desktops with an Outlook compatible client means NO PROFIT on most of it (for Cisco) except perhaps the initial purchase. Novell isnt doing too well these days and Groupwise was Novell’s PostPath analogy. Not good for Cisco in the long run. Open Source geeks will write one and give it away soon enough.

Doug Dennerline Mar 10, 2009

Yes, just as we believe our large customers will do, Cisco will move user in logical groups overtime to the Cisco Webex Mail i.e. PostPath.

Glass Apr 12, 2009

Over the past two years, Cisco has focused on the collaboration market, with CEO John Chambers touting it as the next wave of innovation in the technology arena.

A major piece of that effort has been Cisco’s $3.2 billion acquisition of WebEx last year. PostPath’s technology will be used to enhance the current e-mail and calendaring capabilities of the WebEx Connect collaboration platform.

Goodbye Postpath. Absorbed. Sunk without trace.
